CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

The following guidelines will help you to plan your

exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition

and adequate rest are essential for successful results.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your

cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the

desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.

The proper intensity level can be found by using your

heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-

mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat

burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.

To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age

at the bottom line of the chart (ages are rounded off to

the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers

above your age. The three numbers are your “training

zone.” The lowest number is the recommended heart

rate for fat burning; the middle number is the recom-

mended heart rate for maximum fat burning; the high-

est number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic

exercise.

Fat Burning

To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-

ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.

During the first few minutes of exercise, your body

uses easily accessible

carbohydrate calories for ener-

gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does

your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy.

If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your

exercise until your heart rate is between the two lower

numbers in your training zone as you exercise.

Aerobic Exercise

If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-

tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exer-

cise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen

for prolonged periods of time. This increases the

demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles,

and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic

exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until

your heart rate is near the highest number in your

training zone.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should include the following three parts:

A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching

and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your

body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa-

ration for exercise.

Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min-

utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training

zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise pro-

gram, do not keep your heart rate in your training

zone for longer than 20 minutes.)

A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This

will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will

help to prevent post-exercise problems.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, plan three work-

outs each week, with at least one day of rest between

workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you

may complete up to five workouts each week, if

desired. Remember, the key to success is make exer-

cise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

WARNING:

• Before beginning this or any exercise pro-

gram, consult your physician. This is espe-

cially important for persons over the age of

35 or persons with pre-existing health prob-

lems.

• The pulse sensor is not a medical device.

Various factors, including the user's move-

ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate

readings. The pulse sensor is intended only

as an exercise aid in determining heart rate

trends in general.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers a selection of features

designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and

effective. When the manual mode of the console is

selected, the resistance of the exercise cycle can be

adjusted with a touch of a button. As you pedal, the

console will provide continuous exercise feedback.

You can even measure your heart rate using the hand-

grip pulse sensor. Note: For information about an

optional chest pulse sensor, see page 19.

The console also offers six preset workout programs.

Each program automatically changes the pedalling

resistance and prompts you to increase or decrease

your pace as it guides you through an effective workout.

In addition, the console features two heart rate pro-

grams that change the pedalling resistance and

prompt you to vary your pace to keep your heart rate

near a target heart rate as you exercise.

The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol-

ogy. Having iFIT.com interactive technology is like hav-

ing a personal trainer in your home. Using a stereo

audio cable (available at electronics stores), you can

connect the exercise cycle to your home stereo,

portable stereo, computer, or VCR and play special

iFIT.com CD and videocassette programs (iFIT.com

CDs and videocassettes are available separately).

iFIT.com CD and videocassette programs automatical-

ly control the exercise cycle as a personal trainer

coaches you through every step of your workout. High-

energy music provides added motivation.

To purchase

iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes, visit our Web

site at www.iFIT.com.

With the exercise cyle connected to your computer,

you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com and

CONSOLE DESCRIPTION

See the drawing on page 9. Note: If there is a thin

sheet of clear plastic on the console, remove it.

A. Exercise feedback display—This display features

seven modes that give you instant exercise feed-

back: your current speed, the elapsed time (or the

time remaining in a program), the resistance level,

the approximate number of calories you have

burned, the distance that you have pedaled, your

power output in watts, and your heart rate (when

you use the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional

chest pulse sensor). If the scan mode is selected,

the display will change from one mode to the next

every few seconds. Or, a single mode can be

selected for continuous display.

Note: The console can show speed and distance

in either miles or kilometres. To change the unit

of measurement, see HOW TO USE THE INFOR-

MATION MODE on page 19.

B. Increase and decrease arrows—During programs,

these arrows will prompt you to increase or

decrease your pace to match the target pace.

C. Manual mode/program indicator—When a program

is selected, the upper right corner of the display

will show a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8, depending on

which program is selected. When the iFIT.com

HOW TO USE A PRESET PROGRAM

Increase Arrow

Heart rate program 7 is designed to keep your heart

rate between 65% and 85% of your maximum heart

rate

during your workout. (Your maximum heart rate is

estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For

example, if you are 25 years old, your maximum heart

rate is 195 beats per minute.) Heart rate program 8 is

designed to keep your heart rate near a target heart

rate that you choose.

Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.

Turn on the console.

See step 1 on page 11.

Select one of the heart rate programs.

Each time the

console is

turned on, the

of the console show the resistance settings for

the heart rate programs.

Enter your age or a target heart rate.

If you selected program 7,

the word AGE and

the current age setting will flash in the display

(see the drawing above). Press the + or – button

repeatedly to enter your age. Once you have

entered your age, your age will be saved in mem-

ory until the batteries are replaced.

If you selected

program 8, the

letters PLS and

a target heart

rate setting of

70 beats per

minute will flash

in the display.

Press the + or – button repeatedly to change the

target heart rate setting, if desired. The target

heart rate setting can be from 70 to 170 beats per

minute.

Hold the handgrip pulse sensor or put on the

To use a heart rate program, you must use the

handgrip pulse sensor or wear the optional chest

pulse sensor. If you use the handgrip pulse sen-

sor, it is not necessary to hold the handgrips con-

tinuously during the program. However, you should

hold the handgrips frequently for the program to

operate properly.

Each time you hold the hand-

grips, keep your hands on the metal contacts

for at least 30 seconds.

Note: When you are not

holding the handgrips, the letters PLS will appear

in the display instead of your heart rate.

Start the program.

To start the program, simply begin pedalling.

Program 7 consists of twenty, one-minute peri-

ods. One resistance setting and one heart rate

setting are programmed for each period. (The

same resistance setting and/or heart rate setting

may be programmed for consecutive periods.)

Program 8 is sixty minutes long (you may choose

to use only part of the program). The same resis-

tance setting and target heart rate setting are pro-

grammed for the entire program.

If program 7 is selected, the resistance of the

exercise cycle will periodically change to keep

your heart rate near the current target heart rate.

(Note: If the current resistance level is too high or

too low, you can adjust the resistance level by

pressing the + or – button. However, when the

current period of the program is completed, the

resistance level may automatically change.)

program 8 is selected, the resistance setting will

not change unless the target heart rate setting is

changed. Pressing the + and – buttons will

change the target heart rate setting.

During program

7 and program

the pace indi-

cators will help

you to keep your

heart rate near

the current target

heart rate. The

left indicator will show your actual pedalling pace.

The right indicator will show a target pace. When

you hold the handgrip pulse sensor or wear the

optional chest pulse sensor, the console will com-

pare your heart rate to the current target heart

rate. If necessary, the right indicator will then

change in height to prompt you to increase or
